Inside the Chicago Resistance
Civilians are taking action by tailing officers, guarding Home Depots, and patrolling their neighborhoods in response to recent events.
A notable incident occurred on the East Side of Chicago, a working-class Latino and Black community, where a car chase ended with federal agents pursuing occupants on foot.
According to eyewitnesses, residents like Pauly came out to check on the commotion, and more federal agents arrived, leading to a crowd that turned into a kind of protest.
Pauly found evidence of the confrontation, including a tear-gas canister, a smoke-grenade can, and a pepper-ball projectile round, which he picked up off his street.
A car chase ended in Pauly’s neighborhood, with federal agents pursuing a car they say was driven by an undocumented immigrant and then allegedly rammed that car intentionally.
